Add live chat to Joomla

Live chat is faster and the best way for your customers to talk to you. Live chat provides a far better experience than the contact forms or communicating through emails.

The advantages of live chat include proactive outreach, increased sales, faster problem resolution, and improve customer service.

In this post, we are going to see how you can add a live chat plugin to your Joomla websites. Joomla is an open-source Content Management System (CMS) that allows you to generate web content.

Steps to add live chat to your Joomla website

  1. Log in to your Joomla administrator panel
  2. Go to “Extensions” and click “Templates” from the drop-down
  3. Click on the “index.php” file on the left side menu
  4. Now, paste your Kommunicate live chat code script

Let me explain all the steps with screenshots and detail.

Step1: Login to your Joomla administrator panel

  • The Administrator interface can be opened by appending the word administrator to the URL of your Website or Server IP.
  • For example, http://www.example.com/administrator Or http://159.65.151.55/administrator
